Consensus Top Baseball Prospects

Posted on by

Cheatsheet Compiler & Draft Buddy BaseballJust who are the top baseball prospects you should be targetting for your keeper league fantasy teams? Allow me to introduce the 2010 Consensus Top Prospects List to help answer that question.

This list is compiled from ten different Top 100 prospect ranking lists. Each list is identified below.

Players were given 100 points for a 1st place ranking, 99 points for second, 98 for third and on and on down to 1 point for a ranking of 100 from each of the respective prospect lists. Our consensus list is ranked by each player’s average score from highest to lowest.

Players had to be named on at least five of the lists to make the final cut. Ninety-six players were named at least five times to form our consensus list.

I realize this simple system has the potential to skew the results of those picked on fewer lists, but overall this presents a good snapshot of the guys you should target for your rosters.
